We're not solving world poverty, we are helping one person at a time, as we can do so. Ultimately, we believe that this is the only way to address world poverty: person to person, one person at a time. Through the small and large donations of people like you, we are currently helping about 15,000 individual around many countries and unique human beings regularly. Together, we all do what we can, and we always find afterward that we did more than we thought possible.

Our one and only goal is to provide food to the elderly poor, who suffer without the support we try to provide. We do not work for or against any government. We do not try to influence policy. We do not try to make a statement with our charitable work. We work only to support those in need.

In the recipient's country, we work with a variety of church (usually) or social organizations. Where possible, we wire funds directly to a local bishop or other trusted church official. We generally avoid using governmental agencies. Then, we utilize a second tier of independent volunteers in the country, who do on-the-spot visits for their independent reports.
